1. i am interested in working part-time in the evenings and on wkends for another company. i have a full time 40 hr job. does anyone know whether there is a limit on how many hours an h1b employee can work in a week in total? i am under the impression it is 60 hrs a week and i am considering specifying a range of 10 - 20 hours on my parttime h1b visa application. please enlighten!! please also let me know whether my 2nd company would have to pay the $1130 filing fees (or just $ 130?) even for a part-time visa though i am already on h1b status full time with another company?

2. my 2nd company applied for my lca online for h1b with dol 2 days back and there's been no response so far!! no certification or denial or anything!! i thought the response is supposedly instantaneous. should we submit again online or fax or wait?
thanks.
have a good day!

A1. There is no set limit as far as I know.

Q2. Please also let me know whether my 2nd company would have to pay the $1130 filing fees (or just $ 130?) even for a part-time visa though i am already on h1b status full time with another company?

A2. Employer must pay the $1000 training fee. $1130 is the correct fee.

Q3. my 2nd company applied for my lca online for h1b with dol 2 days back and there's been no response so far!! no certification or denial or anything!! i thought the response is supposedly instantaneous. should we submit again online or fax or wait?
thanks.

A3. I've always received a response in seconds.
